MEN’S CRICKET: New Zealand return to Twenty20 cricket on Wednesday when they face the West Indies in the first leg of their five match series at Auckland’s Eden Park.

New Zealand are ranked as the world’s 4th best team, two places above the tourists.

WHEELCHAIR RUGBY LEAGUE: England scored six second-half tries as they came from 30-18 down to beat Australia 48-42 in Queensland and sealed a 2-0 ashes series win.

The 2026 world cup will take place in Australia.
